In the middle of summer, the soldiers who are heavily armed and patrolling will not be able to take water for a day, and they will have the possibility of prostration, loss of strength, and will not be able to continue fighting. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This is really dangerous in the case of the pressure of the soldiers outside the city. But it is even more impossible to continue drinking medicated well water, hundreds of people have already developed symptoms of food poisoning, and the rest may be more tolerant of the stomach, but who dares to continue to try?

The food problem is not so urgent, but it needs to be solved.

Because of this situation, Iwasari Youtong secretly received a few dissatisfied glances, and he was originally appointed to the position of a pioneer general, but now he can't convince the public.

Many people feel that it is purely this person's command mistake that has caused such a dilemma, and the good "three good old generals, who are more familiar with the terrain of Shikoku" have become a complete joke, and now they are not rushing into the trap of the other party. Since you have been granted permission, you will naturally be responsible for any consequences!

Even Iwanari himself felt that he could not escape the blame. Maybe it's because you've been on the battlefield for a long time, maybe you're too old, or maybe it's time to retire...... In short, without personally confirming the safety of water and food, rashly choosing Cage City is indeed not what an excellent general should do.

Of course, it is not that no one has come forward to speak up for him.

Kasai Naganobu and Matsuyama Shigeharu believed that going deep behind enemy lines was a matter of life and death, but in a hurry, they were given the task of "sticking to attract enemy troops and waiting for backup", and there was not enough time and energy, and some negligence was inevitable. Moreover, the enemy army was clearly prepared and had done so much sabotage in the city, ninety percent of which were inspected and dealt with, and only one percent was effective. In this case, it is not necessary to blame the work of Iwasari Youtong too much!

However, the two newcomers cannot confront public opinion.

What's more, this kind of remark is obviously to throw the pot to the equal-handed supervisor.

Is it to say that advance orders are unreasonable? Totally impossible!

Clever, resourceful, resourceful, far-sighted, discerning, visionary, wise and decisive...... How could a lord who combines all kinds of positive qualities make mistakes? The reason why something went wrong must have been caused by some stupid, incompetent and greedy and short-sighted retainers. For example, some of the new people who have not been tested for a long time......

Except for the obvious use of the topic, the generals' ideas are indeed shaken.

Dr. Terada ran over with the guards and asked, "May I ask how to do the matter of Iwacheng main tax, contact Neiying, and take the opportunity to break through?" ”

Skipping the step of "do you want to break through" and directly asking "how to do it" is obviously a bit overstepping. But this is already relatively friendly, Shigehide Suzuki of the Saga mercenary, and Tadaji Toda of Mikawa's new senators, didn't send anyone to ask at all, which is the most worrying!

In this regard, Iwanari Youtong withstood tremendous pressure, and still kept in mind the instructions of the Tieshou Tsuyo Show before setting off, "The camera acts, and the confrontation with the enemy is victory", and made a resolute gesture: "The support of the supervisor has landed, and it will arrive soon, we must wait for his old man to come to make a decision, and we must not act without permission!" ”

The same news was passed on to the Saga mercenaries and the Mikawa Shinsen. Although the prestige has been discounted, the military order is delivered, and it always has a certain effect.

Iwanari Yutsu still believes that the Hirate Honshu must have a perfect countermeasure, but he can't think of what this countermeasure is. Because in addition to the Nakamura Kazushi who is in charge of the contact, only the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka, Sasa Naimasa, and Hitete Hideyi know about this matter.

……

"The enemy has four or five thousand men, trapped in these three cities, and they are short of food and water, and they cannot hold on for a long time. Revealing this news, Hisho Tsuyoshi really couldn't accept this loss, and would personally lead his troops ashore to fight. The only thing they can do now is to believe in the sincerity of our others, and hope that the inside and the outside will cooperate and crusade against Shinohara's Nagabo. ”

"As I said at the beginning, as long as you can continue to profit from the information we give, you will be greedy and want to hunt for more. In the long run, you will definitely fall into it and will not be able to get out. Although there have been many small variables so far, the final result is still expected. ”

After many days, Miyoshi Changyi's face re-revealed the wisdom bead in his hand and a smug expression.

The changes in the battle situation in the past few days confirmed his plan, so he gradually regained the right to speak. Now he is hiding behind Miyoshi Changhu, Miyoshi Yasucho and others, and he is remotely commanding the remaining more than 3,000 troops.

In front of the Awa and Sanuki people, who had a total of 14,000 people in the Shinohara Nagabo, the number of 3,000 seemed insignificant. But these people are all people who have gone through failures and sufferings, and have not yet wavered, and who have retreated all the way to Shikoku with the people of the Miyoshi Sect, can be called the most core team.

The power system of the feudal era relied on a small number of life-and-death cronies, united a large number of backbones with interests, and then coerced peripheral members with unstable positions. When the Miyoshi family was at its peak and could bring out nearly 100,000 troops, the central force was only less than 20,000. In the current Oda family, Nobunaga's direct army is only about 15,000.

Therefore, Miyoshi Nagayi firmly believes that if he can properly stir up the situation, with these 3,000 people, it will be enough to make a comeback on Shikoku Island.

However, his son Miyoshi Changhu still didn't understand the situation: "Father, is the next step to bring the Pingshou Army to death?" So how can we guarantee that in the end, Shinohara Nagabo will not pick up this prestige for defeating rare generals? ”

Miyoshi Changyi frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed by this question. This eldest son, although he is quite capable of fighting, is far behind in terms of resourcefulness.

However, perhaps it is because of this that the father-son relationship is maintained well, right? Like Yusa and Matsunaga, father and son are good at conspiracy, and the two foxes will probably have trouble at home!

Therefore, Miyoshi Changyi was basically satisfied with Changhu, and patiently replied: "So we need to deceive both the tie and Shinohara at the same time, and let them fight hard." As long as Shinohara's cronies are all lost in the battle formation, when the meritorious deeds are rewarded after the war, it is our words that count. ”

"I see. With the current situation, once the elite reserves on both sides take over, it will be impossible for both of them to withdraw easily, and they will definitely be able to distinguish the winner from the loser. Miyoshi Changhu's battlefield experience is still very rich, and he instantly understood his father's intentions, but soon fell into the next question, "According to my father's plan, the draw should be won by our army!" So will Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga mobilize more forces to crusade against them......"

His consideration is obviously human nature.

After all, the tie is just the other party's partial teacher! Even if we eliminate it, it doesn't seem to solve the fundamental problem.

Then Miyoshi Changyi smiled lightly.

This question is indeed answered only by a wise man with sufficient experience and insight. Changhu, this child, although he is in his thirties, still needs more experience.

"There's no need to worry about that. If he dies in battle, Ashikaga and Oda will have a disagreement over the successor of the guardian generation, and in the end Oda will win, but Ashikaga will definitely be secretly hindered, no matter who is sent, there will be no time to conquer Shikoku for a while. Unless Oda Nobunaga himself leads the troops, but in that case, Asakura, Takeda, Honganji, and even Rokkaku and Kitabatake will not turn a blind eye to this. ”

Seeing his son nodding slowly and thoughtfully, Miyoshi Changyi decided to say a few more words: "Among the ministers of Oda, the only ones who can be called wise generals are Hinode, Niwa, and Takigawa. The rest of Shibata, Sakuma, Mori Kosei, Sakai and other generations, although they can fight well, are all known for their 'good matches' rather than 'odd victories', and they are not afraid of facing the blockage of the bay. That's why Nobunaga left those three people alone. ”

Miyoshi Nagatora chewed it and asked, "Father, do you mean that Hirate Hinoshu is a samurai far superior to Shibata and Sakuma?" ”

His understanding was simple and crude, and it sounded funny, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be misinterpreted.

Therefore, Miyoshi Changyi smiled dumbly: "Haha, what should I say...... If each led 10,000 people to fight, the tie Tsunohide would not be the opponent of Shibata Katsuya. However, if they occupy a territory equal to the population and land and conquer each other, then the Shibata Katsuya may not have the opportunity to fight head-on at all, and they will already be taken down. ”

After finishing speaking, Changhu was still thinking carefully, but Miyoshi Changyi interrupted:

"Okay, let's think about it in the future, now it's time to get down to business! According to the words I prepared earlier, I sent them to Hirate and Shinohara respectively, and if it goes well, they will fight tomorrow, and when the time comes, we must choose the right time to intervene, not too soon, not too late...... If we succeed this time, the foundation of our Miyoshi family can still be preserved. ”

The father and son looked at each other, and through the words "our three good families", Changhu felt the ambition flashing in his father's eyes.

The implication of Miyoshi Nagayi is that after taking this opportunity to eliminate the tie and overthrow Shinohara, it is necessary to find a way to go further.

After all, they are all a family, the main branch and the branch, and when necessary, they can also replace each other.

Changhu's wisdom and political vision are not as good as his father's, but only his ambition has been inherited well.

"Then I'll do as you tell me......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the locked gate of the tent was kicked open, and a tall and burly warrior rushed in, shouting at the same time, "Lord, young lord, something is wrong!" ”

Changyi and Changhu frowned together, and their movements seemed to be carved out of a mold. But when you look closely, isn't the person who came in the same person as the important minister of the family, Nobuhide Banto?

He is a calm and reliable person, and this attitude of being in a hurry is really rare.

Nobuhide Banto was half-kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, his chest shaking violently, his face flushed, and he looked very anxious, but he couldn't make a sound.

Changyi hurriedly stepped forward and patted him lightly on the back to help soothe him for a while.

After a while, Sakato Nobuhide finally said a complete sentence: "I just got the news that the vicinity of Katsurui Castle in the northern part of Awa Province was attacked by Tosa Chomune's family, and the whole army was panicked. ”
